Boxing: Grant wins Canadian 168lbs belt

Otis "Magic" Grant continued his inspiring rise out of the abyss and towards a world title by snagging the Canadian Super Middleweight title from Mark Woolnaugh Saturday night at the Montreal Casino in Montreal, Quebec. The bout was televised on the French Canadian network TVA.

Grant, now 34-2-1, was too experienced and crafty for the game champ Woolnaugh, now 14-5-1, and controlled the action throughout their ten round bout. Ten rounds is the new championship round limit set by the Canadian Professional Boxing Federation - a more realistic ruling made to accommodate the frequency of younger fighters that end challenging for national belts.
